Scholars in the courtyard

Seventh Machinery Department.

Ran's father hung up the phone, feeling troubled.

But when I hung up the phone, I felt a little regretful. I shouldn't have spoken to Lao Zheng in that tone.

But if he were to fight back, he wouldn't be able to save face.

So he focused on the table in front of him.

The piles of documents on the table in front of him were arranged irregularly, but he was able to accurately find the information he needed.

These were all delivered today.

Picking up a report at random, this is a report on the experiment at Minjian.

The Seventh Machinery Department conducted rocket launch experiments there.

This method of directly changing the first and second levels from the missile performed stably in the experiment, and then plunged into the sea.

It fully demonstrates the characteristics of surface-to-surface missiles.

But what they want is to fly upward.

After a while, Father Ran put down the report, put it in the safe behind him, and then looked at the data sheet on hand.

That's experimental data on launch vehicle engines.

The gathering of various experimental sites is also the result of more than a month of experiments.

Just looking at the data circled in red pen above, you can tell that this experiment did not meet Ran's father's requirements.

However, Ran's father was not focused on this at this time, or in other words, he had seen this kind of result many times and was used to it.

If there is no problem in any experiment, that is the biggest problem.

He even wondered if the people conducting the experiment below had created a fake identity to fool him.

For him, it is normal to have problems, and everyone just needs to work hard to solve them.

Isn't this what you did when you were in the northwest?

The most unforgivable thing is counterfeiting or changing the design.

Father Ran put down the data sheet and rubbed his cheeks with both hands.

To say that I am used to it, it means I have been disappointed more often and my mental endurance is strong.

But that doesn't mean you'll be in a good mood.

Even during this mood change and adjustment, the body will make movements habitually.

Just like what Ran's father is doing now by rubbing his cheeks.

After a while, Ran's father adjusted, loosened his hands, took a deep breath, and looked at the banners in the office.

‘Self-reliance, independence! ’

These eight words always remind him that he must continue to struggle.

Just looking at the blackboard not far away, his eyes became dim again.

On the blackboard, various data are listed on the horizontal lines.

One of the columns is data about satellite design.

The number marked one hundred at the top gradually increased, and finally became one hundred and three.

Behind every increase in numbers, it means an increase in the thrust of their rockets.

And increased thrust means more fuel, and more size.

It means more investment.

Now, their experiments are facing this dilemma.

Looking away, Ran's father looked at the phone on the table, then at the data sheet, and then turned his attention to Lao Zheng's matter, thinking about how to help.

He and Lao Zheng have been friends for many years. Although they work in different places, their relationship has not been affected at all.

The two of them would even make a phone call when they had time to talk about their current situation.

So he knows Lao Zheng very well.

This time the request is on my own head, so there is definitely no other way.

I just think of the aircraft engines studied by the Third Machinery Department, which are completely different from their rocket engines.

Can he help?

I have some doubts myself.

With a slight sigh, Ran's father got up and went out, came to the house facing the sun on the east side, and knocked on the door.

inside the house.

Mr. Wang was sitting aside, holding a cigarette in his hand but not lighting it, and talking to Mr. Qian at the table.

The two were talking about satellite research when they heard a knock on the door.

Qian Lao raised his head and spoke softly, then the door opened and Ran's father walked in.

"lead!"

"Chief!"

Ran's father didn't expect Mr. Wang to be there, so he quickly said hello after entering.

Seeing Ran's father coming in, Qian Lao smiled and nodded.

Qian always admired and recognized Ran's father's work ability and responsible attitude.

For this reason, he put him in charge of the research and development of rocket engines and gave him a stage to give full play!

And Ran's father did not live up to his expectations, leading the team to overcome one problem after another, which not only made him worry-free, but also brought him closer and closer to the predetermined goal.

When Mr. Wang saw it was Ran's father, he stood up from his seat, put the cigarette in his left hand, and stepped forward with a smile, "Oh, Comrade Ran, thank you for your hard work!"

As he said that, he held his right hand in Ran's father's surprised eyes and took a good look around.

Ran's father was confused by Mr. Wang's move and froze on the spot!

They are in the same building, and it’s not like they have never met before!

Just for a moment, what does this mean?

Qian Lao, who was sitting on the chair, smiled and thought of something.

"Well, chief, it's not hard work!"

Father Ran smiled stiffly as Mr. Wang held his hand, and then opened his mouth to answer.

“No matter if it’s hard work or not, you must pay attention to your health.”

"This body is the capital of revolution. Without a good body, how can we withstand the test of revolution!"

Mr. Wang said earnestly, and Ran's father was suddenly moved.

A person in a high position like Mr. Wang can still care so much about his subordinates. He is really approachable!

Just when Ran's father was filled with gratitude, Mr. Wang changed the subject, "By the way, you haven't been to your son-in-law's place recently?"

"Son-in-law, Yang Xiaotao?"

Although Ran's father's emotional intelligence is not very high, his IQ is definitely not low.

Especially when it comes to family members, it's like using the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and you immediately understand what the other person means.

The other party had something to say, and he was still coming after Yang Xiaotao!

"Well, I've been busy lately and haven't gone home!"

Father Ran smiled and then took his hand out.

After hearing this, Mr. Wang sounded cautious and said, "Comrade Lao Ran, I have to talk about you. You must not be careless in cultivating yourself and your family!"

“Especially we must care for the younger generations and let them feel the warmth from their elders!”

Mr. Wang said that Ran's father always felt a little awkward in his heart.

"Don't worry, chief. When children grow up, they have their own lives. As parents, as long as we don't cause trouble for them, that's fine!"

"What do you mean by adding chaos? Comrade Lao Ran, your thinking is wrong. This is called the care of the revolutionary predecessors, and it is the stage of experience of young comrades..."

Mr. Wang spoke again, feeling out of control.

Ran's father became more and more annoyed as he listened. This situation seemed familiar!

By the way, what happened last time? It seemed like you were going to use a machine tool?

Or is it about Shen Rong?

In short, this familiar smell must have a purpose!

Ahem

Mr. Qian knew it was time for him to step forward. He coughed slightly and interrupted Mr. Wang's rambling, "Director Ran, what's the matter?"

Father Ran nodded, then came to the side and sat down.

Seeing this, Mr. Wang also walked aside and did not leave.

"Leader, Director Zheng from the Three Machinery Department called just now. They encountered some difficulties..."

Then Ran’s father told the story of the call, “Maybe he thinks everyone is making engines, and he wanted to ask for our opinion!”

After Father Ran finished speaking, before Mr. Qian could speak, Mr. Wang started laughing.

"Haha, I didn't expect Lao Zhang to ask for help sometimes!"

"Are you still begging us?"

"It's strange, it's strange!"

In his opinion, regardless of whether it was Zheng Shuangyan or someone else, as long as it was from the Third Machinery Department and the call was sent here, it was the Third Machinery Department's business.

When we meet next time, I will tell you something!

Mr. Qian ignored Mr. Wang's little thoughts, but frowned and thought about what Ran's father said.

After a long time, Mr. Qian raised his head and said seriously, "I can't say anything about this kind of thing without careful study!"

Mr. Qian is as rigorous as ever and will provide what he knows without reservation.

But I won’t talk nonsense about something I’m not sure about.

What's more, there are so many researchers and engineers from the Third Machinery Department who have been working hard for so long, but he doesn't believe that there is no result at all.

Let him guide you, rather than review it yourself.

"The engines we make are not the same thing, and there are differences in dynamics. It's hard to give theoretical guidance!"

After Mr. Qian finished speaking, Ran's father nodded in approval. The result was not what he expected.

"As for production technology, everyone's situation is the same, and the materials are pretty much the same. There is no shortage of everything you need!"

The two of them nodded after hearing this. Speaking of which, the Third Machinery Department had a strong family background.

At least it's stronger than their Seventh Machine Department.

Mr. Qian was silent for a moment, and then said, "If you really want to make suggestions, let's look for breakthroughs in design!"

“Whatever you design, you must stick to it!”

"If you change this, change that, the integrity will be destroyed, and the resulting products will be completely different!"

Ran's father understood what Mr. Qian meant, and this was what he wanted to say.

Until the end, who knows whether the designed thing is good or bad?

It's just that it's one thing to say it, but another thing to solve it.

Because they also face the same problem.

The main reason behind the experimental data sheet on the table is that the materials and technology are not up to standard.

It obviously requires a thickness of three millimeters, but the result is four millimeters...

You obviously have to hold on for thirty seconds at a high temperature of 1,500 degrees, but you can only hold on for twenty seconds...

These data are not up to standard, and no matter how good the design is, it is useless.

It's just that they didn't change it to four millimeters just because they couldn't do three millimeters.

Instead, we are looking for people who can achieve three millimeters!

"I guess they themselves are aware of this matter and still want to take shortcuts."

"So, what you said is in vain!"

Mr. Wang was clicking his lips aside, holding the cigarette in his mouth, but he still didn't light it!

"Hurry to push, if you can't push, then make changes, and then do it after you finish making changes. If you can't do it well, push again, and then change again..."

"This cycle has been going on for many years, hasn't it always been like this?"

"In the past, when I had enough time, I could overcome them one by one and solve the problems!"

"Now..."

Mr. Wang shook his head and sighed. Mr. Qian picked up the pen and twisted the cap.

Perhaps it was the confidence brought by the mushroom eggs that made the requirements from above much tougher than before.

The "instructions" for scientific research work have also become frequent, which invisibly puts layer upon layer of shackles on them.

"You just told them, what should we do?"

"Nothing!"

Although Mr. Wang speaks directly, his words are dry and rational.

Some things cannot be changed if they want to!

"If you ask me, if they want to make it happen, they have to be like us, be patient, take it one step at a time, and do it in a down-to-earth manner!"

Mr. Qian nodded to Mr. Wang after hearing this, "I agree with Mr. Wang on this point!"

"Those who do research must have the awareness to take the straight hitch after setting their goals. They cannot seek to get the best of everything and take shortcuts. That will not achieve the goal."

At the same time, it was also a reminder to Ran's father, "Just like what we are doing now, we must move forward steadily and solve all the problems we have considered."

"If you rush for success, you will only fail miserably."

Ran's father nodded, "I understand!"

Tell Mr. Qian that it has been done on behalf of Mr. Zheng. If it can't solve the problem, he can't do anything about it.

Besides, they still have a lot of problems waiting to be solved.
